***Tony and Me

A Story of Friendship

by Jack Klugman with Burton Rocks

I’m not a celebrity watcher and don’t normally read celebrity
biographies. However, this book caught my eye when I was
processing it. Tony
and Me is truly the story of a friendship, and because of that,
it’s
a warm-hearted book.

Jack Klugman tells how Tony Randall not only helped him become an actor
again after throat cancer, but he also showed him what friendship is
all about.

This book is a quick read. It doesn’t go into every detail of the
two actors’ lives by any means, but it does show what a wonderful man
Tony Randall was. And it does show what a good friend he
was. Jack Klugman was clearly writing this book as a tribute to
Tony Randall, and he succeeded. A short DVD is included with
outtakes from The Odd Couple, showing what a good time the two
of them had together.
